General variables reference
As a catalog administrator, internal supplier, or internal supplier administrator, you can use platform General variables for creation of an input and output expression of any activity in a workflow.
The platform variables are resolved to a value during the process runtime. These variables are available for any element in a workflow, and you can find them by opening an expression builder, and expanding the General subtree.
The following table describes the General variables:
General variable | Description |
---|---|
Current Date | The current date of the BMC Helix Digital Workplace Catalog server. The time defaults to midnight. |
Current Date and Time | The current UTC date and time of the BMC Helix Digital Workplace Catalog server. |
Current Group IDs | The group IDs of which the Requested By user is a member. If there are no groups, the value is an empty string. If there are groups, the value is a string displayed in the following format: groupID;groupID;groupID. |
Current Groups | The platform groups of the Requested By user. |
Current Roles | The platform roles IDs of the Requested By user. |
Current Time | The current UTC time of the BMC Helix Digital Workplace Catalog server. |

Process Correlation ID | This ID can be used to uniquely identify a process instance execution. If the process is in a parallel execution through parallel gateway or parallel multi-instance loop, the process uses this keyword in the parallel path and generates separate correlation ID to identify each execution path. This keyword is applicable only to a process definition. This ID is used for Remedy activities. It helps to find a process that runs remotely. It has the following format: processDefinitionID | processInstanceID | parentExecutionID | executionID |
Server URL | The URL of the platform server. |
